Over the last 5 years or so TV has brought us one thing; horrible shows about custom vehicles.

These are shows that throw a fish tank in the glove box, a set of wheels on a Lambo, or a suede headliner in an Escalade and call it "custom." Here's a giant middle finger to that pop culture custom movement. Thankfully, we know that real custom actually involves thinking outside of the box, and more than anything, pulling it off with minitrucker style.

When Josh Barnes of Keokuk, Iowa, started to think outside of that proverbial box, he didn't stop at the standard 'bagged, body-dropped, and shaved with big wheels formula that many of us have become comfortable with. He wanted to One-Up that formula, and in a big way. If you were going to think outside of that box what would you think? If you said; 22.5-inch dually wheels, hand formed rear fenders, a righthand drive conversion ,and a turbo motor on top of the 'bagged, body-dropped and shaved formula then guess what? You'd be Josh Barnes and you'd have an insanely badass truck!

Josh and his dad started with finding the perfect project truck; an '03 4WD S-10, which was a 23-hour round trip away from them. After bringing it back home, a new stock floor body-dropped frame was built from the firewall back and a small block was dropped between the front frame horns. In order to get the 22.5-inch Alcoa wheels to clear up front the control arms were lengthened 3 inches and combined with a 2-inch drop spindle.

To create the rear fenders, Josh used his buddy's Stepside S-10 to make molds for the fenders and then carefully molded them into the side of the stock longbed. Everything on the truck has been completely shaved and the rear doors were flipped to suicide hinges. Up front, Josh got rid of the stock bumper and fabbed up a smooth one for a much cleaner look. Before having his dad spray the truck with candy green and silver metallic, they turned their attention to the interior. A righthand drive Dodge Caliber dash was shoehorned into the interior along with a console. Everything on the interior was smoothed and painted black and silver and the seats were recovered using the same color scheme.

Josh set out to create a never before seen minitruck and with the help of his dad and a few friends, he accomplished just that. Now all he needs to do is figure out how to get that fish tank into the glovebox and he'll be set.
